Elizabeth Hall Wetlands

Reviewed By sheila2646 - Lethbridge, Canada

This is a spot that not many people seem to know about. I took my elderly mother, and it was wheelchair accessible. It was a nice walk around the wetlands and Mum and I both enjoyed seeing the birds and wildlife. It is an ever changing environment, which makes each visit unique.

Bull Trail Park

Reviewed By BenLar137 - Calgary, Canada

We've visited Lethbridge many times, but were completely unaware of this gorgeous park space. Downtown Lethbridge and Indian Battle Park are on one side of the Old Man River, and this park is on the other side, along with their stunning university and some nice new neighbourhoods. We were on the search for cactus blossoms, and heard on social media that they might be blooming, so we dropped everything and drove to Lethbridge. And did we ever see them - timing is so critical. We walked from the University (we had to pay for parking :( ), and walked along a fine trail long the river for quite a ways. Gorgeous views, and beautiful natural prairie and coulee landscapes. A true hidden gem.

Popson Park

Reviewed By 651tanyam

Popson park is a wilderness type park. Its intended purpose is for dogs to run free( if youre not good with dogs this park is not for you). The scenery is quite dramatic, almost prehistoric looking with weather worn Coulee and the winding Oldman river. There are a small number of parking bays and well maintained flat trails leading to beachy areas.There are no washrooms. The river in summer is very low and lazy ...kids and dogs can paddle safely. This park is the natural and RIGHTFUL home of the protected Prairie Rattle snake. They frequent long grass and shrubbery along the banks. As always children should be instructed to STAY ON THE TRAILS at all times.(* please note that the killing of rattle snakes anywhere in Alberta is an offence, and comes with a $50,000 fine even for a first offence.) Ignorance of Provincial law is not a defence.
